New car lines
publication date: May 20, 2010
Reinforcing the ‘Unbelievable value' message of its
latest marketing campaign, Volkswagen is adding a new model to the Golf
line-up.
Using the familiar Match name, the new variant replaces the SE trim
level, and adds over £1,600 worth of extra equipment while costing just
£300 more than the outgoing car.
The Match also comes with the
newly-available option of a 140 PS BlueMotion Technology model for added
economy and performance.
|  | On top of the SE's already generous specification which
includes, among
other items, ABS, ESP, seven airbags, Climatic air conditioning, alarm,
cruise control and multi-device interface for connectivity to iPod or
MP3 player, the Match adds unique 16-inch ‘Croft' alloy wheels, a
leather multifunction steering wheel, DAB digital radio receiver,
Bluetooth system, front and rear parking sensors and an RCD 510
touchscreen stereo with six-disc CD autochanger.
The new Match model is available with the same engines as
the outgoing SE trim. This means customers can choose from a 1.4-litre
TSI petrol with 122 PS, a 1.6-litre TDI 105 PS or a 2.0-litre TDI with
140 PS. Both the petrol and the 1.6-litre TDI are offered with
Volkswagen's seven-speed DSG gearbox, while the 2.0-litre TDI can be
specified with the six-speed DSG option.
An efficient BlueMotion Technology Match model is also available with
the 1.6-litre TDI 105 PS returning 68.9 mpg on the combined cycle and
emitting 107 g/km of carbon dioxide. New for the Match is a BlueMotion
Technology model in combination with the popular 2.0-litre TDI 140 PS
unit. This offers customers a combined fuel economy of 65.7 mpg and CO2
emissions of only 114 g/km and, as such, is likely to appeal to fleet
customers who will benefit from BIK tax advantages as well as
environmentally conscious drivers who don't want to compromise on
performance.
Adding to the value proposition is the option of a three-year/30,000
mile £250 fixed price servicing deal which saves customers money as well
as giving them peace of mind against routine servicing costs. With
prices from £17,730 for the 1.4-litre TSI three-door, the first
deliveries will be late June. | | | |
